It took her all day to finish her portion of dry food and 30 minutes or so to finish her wet food. Instead of finishing her food within seconds, she would daintily graze throughout the day and night. But a few months ago she started losing weight, amongst her other health issues, and then didn’t seem to like the hypoallergenic food as much as her old food. Ethel, my elderly 18-year old sweetheart, started a hypoallergenic diet last month.Įthel loves to eat, and has always wolfed down her food, even though most of her teeth were extracted years ago. I have two very different cats who now have different diets. Or they congenially switch bowls for a taste of the other’s when you don’t want them to.īut thankfully, there’s another solution, and that is the microchip pet feeder. Most cats are great at only eating from their special dish, but every cat eats at different speeds and then moves onto their friend’s food next. Just watch them like a hawk and correct them every time they try to eat the other’s food.This also requires attention and time from the person, and doesn’t work if one or both want to graze throughout the day. Either on opposite sides of a room, or one cat eats on the counter or shelf and one cat eats on the floor. The idea is that if you put enough space between the cats, you can catch and correct one if they meander over to the other cat’s food. Sometimes one or both of the cats refuse to eat when separated, so you are all held hostage until both finish their food. Often one cat gets banished to eat in the bathroom, and unhappily meows until they are let out again. People are so creative and inventive! If cats are fed different foods, there are a few common approaches:

Or you have dogs or other pets or children who try to get into the cat food.Ī great part of being a professional cat sitter is that I get to see how all of my clients set up their pets’ things, and how they solve problems. Or one cat gets medication mixed into their food. Feeding your cats different diets can be challenging.
